I wonder is the issue is just that too many systems are attempting to report
at the exact same time.

In my log I found (CEST time)

Nov  2 06:25:35 host popularity-contest: unable to submit report to http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
Oct 26 06:25:35 host popularity-contest: unable to submit report to http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
Oct 19 06:25:35 host popularity-contest: unable to submit report to http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.

This is on two servers running ntp. A third server which did not run ntp did
not report any failure, and neither does my laptop.  It seems it only happened
after a squeeze to wheezy upgrade.  (All my servers are able to submit via SMTP
anyway).

I am a bit puzzled nobody else is reporting this issue.

Cheers,
